Other countries top players aren’t making huge salary n not worry about injury affecting their salary for the career, so they play for Glory!!!

US players don’t want to risk fatique n injury can affect their next supermax contract!!! Money better than Glory I guess

Basically, the USA team has a MEMEME mindset while the other nations still play with pride and for country

That's America really

I mean, would you give up 30 mil just to play in the olympics or fiba?
These top players have 0 to prove.



My point exactly lol. It's not an excuse, it's a fact.

Who is this player that lost 30 mil because of international play

You know exactly what I mean and don't pretend you don't lol.
Injuries on the last year of a contract is a potential reason.

Team USA's main strength is transition basketball, nobody can keep up with them, not even close. It becomes impossible tho, when they're getting outrebounded hopelessly by pretty much any team they play. Ad the fact that defensively they were getting exposed on regular basis. Especially A. Reaves who at times made someone like Harden look like a defensive juggernaut.

Btw, coaching staff also seemed incapable of reacting and making adjustments to anything not going to plan, and just have their team play thru it.
